Residency by Investment
About

The Hungarian Residency by Investment program started accepting applicants in 2017.

To be eligible to apply for this program, you must be over 18 years old, in good health and without a criminal record.

Applicants are also required to acquire special Hungarian Government Bonds with a 5-year maturity.

The expected timeframe for the application process is 6 months. The first stage of the document collection can differ in length depending on the applicant’s ability to gather the documents. Our team guides this process with samples and best practice advice.

The reviewal stage is subject to the respective Government schedule and can be impacted by factors which we, as authorised agents have no control over. Savory and Partners collaborates with the Government throughout the entire process, and we aim to provide the quickest and smoothest experience for the applicant.
